What is the aftercare required after plastic surgery to treat a scar?
Thank you for your inquiry! Following a facial plastic surgery procedure, I recommend avoiding direct sunlight to avoid hyperpigmentation and applying a scar gel that is formulated to significantly improve scar texture, color and overall appearance. Additionally, I recommend laser treatments such as PicoSure or Icon 1540, to break down any remaining scar tissue and encourage cell turnover for healthy tissue growth. Good luck and once again, thank you for your inquiry! READ MORE
